piety of that measure had not been attempted to be maintained by any body in the course of the debate.—(Cheers.) Mr. TIERNEY—The question we have to discuss, is not .whether the office of the Treasurer of the Navy should be alio . tatted, as the Right Hon. Gentleman has argued it, and as any Ifember entering the =Howse during his speech must have sup. pissed it to be. Nobody on my side of the House has dreamed of any such proposition, or hinted at it in any shape. lam glad to see so many Members coming in at this moment. We shall, I trust, have a fair start now.—(A laugh.)—The true and only question before us is, whether the Salary of the President of the Board of Trade shall be increased 2,0001. mote than he now receives; and I beg that we may not be talked out of it. Now, what, I ask, has that question to:do with the in. iluence. of the Crown, er any of the other topics which the Right lionountble o tn has pressed_ into his service this evening? All that has been said is, that this measure will in crease the are of the Crown' by the creation of one o ff ice entire than ara actually existing. My Honourable Friend (Mr. ► .10bhouee) calls us his Majesty's Opposition, and I think it it an excellent phrase.—(Laughter.)—el ought to know something es to its, correctness, for it has hcen my lot to be zea lously uppuCed to his, Majesty's Government —though lat terly, since, they have acted upon principles which scented to me to entitle them to public approbation, I have to the utmost extent of my. power sopported them. My Honour.. able Friend could not have invented a better phrase to de. &gnaw us than that which he has adopted, for we are cer. wady, to all intents, a branch of his Majesty's Government.— ( Laughter.)—lts proceedings for some time past e llen proved, that, though the Gentlemen opposite are in office, we are in power.—(Cheers.)—=The measures are ours, but all the emolu ments are theirs.—(Cheers, and laughter.)—lt appears, by the Right Ilonourable Geraktium's chewing, that this is our mo tioth—(lletti 1)---lie contends that we have no right to oppose= it, because it was we who originally suggested it. It is in my opinion immaterial from what pouter the suggestion proceed. ce. I believe an Honourable I: riend of mine (Mr. Baring) did say that he considered the salary inefficient to the labour re. mitred by the duties of the office, and the great talents with which they were at this moment discharged. But this mugges. tiOn was thrown out last Session, anti no fault was found on our side of the house this Session ; because no notice had been taken of the suggestion. But it seems to have lain heavily on the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Canning). Ile steps forward to relieve himself, and, as he assures us, to gratify us laugh);—and he says " I will accede to your wishes; I will take the salary you suggest for one office, and I will keep the other office with the salary just as it is"—(cheers.)—No wonder that we did not know our own child. Under his nursing, he lied changed it. for a lusty bantling, in the shape of a new Treasurer of the Navy—(laughter)—an office - which I undertake to prove utterly useless, in a sense which I, will hereafter explain. The Right Honourable Gentleman says that we are not sufficiently on the alert with regard to our own interests; and he has declared that Government is in no want of such supporters as it may gain from this Measure. 1 Liar from him widely. I think that Government do want support. I never saw a Session when they wanted it more— (bear, hear !).—The Right Honourable Gentletnah may not be aware of the full extent of his obligations to this side of the House ; but I can assure him, that it', as he asserts, he would not consent to stay in office with a pitiful majority of 20, lie would, without our support, have been long ago driven from his present' honours. If we tithe away our support, out he must go to morrow.—(A laugh.)—The Right Hon. Gentleman has taken credit somewhat tea largely for the reduction of the official seats in this House. True, we have lately had no Master of the Rolls here. But Sir Thoanu Plumer, towards the close of his life, could not, if he would, have given his personal support •to the measures of Government. His infirmities rendered him incapable of attending. If we have, no Master of time Rolls now in this House, it is because he is in another place, where he is required to he bodily present for the aid and support of the Lord Chancellor.--(Laughter and cheers.) —But the Right 'lionourahlu Gentleman complains that the Opposition is made up of lawyers. It is true that we breed some lawyers on this aide, but is also true that we sometimes breed theni for the ,Other side of the House._.(Laughter.? —Hell their strength has (mine out of our nursery, not much improved certainly by, transplanting.- e ( laughter.)—" You have two civilians," the Right Honourehle Gentleman says; " there is' an ad vantage l" But what bee he, let me ask ? fie has one Ci. vilian (Dr. Phillimore),—and a Judge in the Ecclesiastical Count (Sir J. Nichol!), who is at least worth two Civilians. —The Learned Civilian (Dr. Phillimore) was not seated at the pow d ot'Controul purely on account of his attachment to In- • din affairs. lie no doubt considers the 1,5001. a year he re. civet as a general retaining fee for the support he is to render to time !tight Honourable Gentleman, who, on his part, seems to think that the mouient a Lawyer accepts office, he is bound to vote with his party through thick and thin. As to lawyers •-in general, there are surely enough on the other side of the House. They have the AttorneyAirmerel and the Solicitor. General, and time Chief Justice of Chester—he, by the bye, is one they have borrowed of us—(a laugh)--and They have a Welch Judge, and perhaps they will have Mr. Keswick next— (laughter), w h sle we only have those who maintain their sta tion by the independent exercise of their talent. The real question before us, however, is, whether the proposed salary of 6,0001. shall be given to my, Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, in consideration of the great ability With which he has filled that office ? That is the footing on Which I . wish to see time question stand. I mean to centiliter ;the proposition as a compliment to the Right Honourable (In tim en ( r. Usk isson), for lam net convinceal that his office ought permanently to belong to the Cabinet. 1 mini thy:amble to the propoaition, because I am of opinion that Government will be strengthened by increasing the rank and importance of ibis officer. I therefore heartily hope lie mite have the Mtg. 'Mutation desired. The Right Honourable' Secretary (Mr. Canning) 14mys, that time suggestion original), came front our atide. So let it be, if' he pleasee ; but in what shape did it go front us ? Why, undnubtedly, as 'a suggestion to add 2,000/. to the salary of 3,000/. already received by Right lion. Ftiend (Mr. fluekiseon) as Treasurer of the Navy. Their less reason for giving a large separate salary to the Pre sident of the Board of 'Trade, as it is the necessary tendency of the labours of ray Right linnourable Friend to reduce the number and *eight of the duties( of diet office in future. As to the incompatibillity of the two offices which he now fills; wiil any Honourable Gentleman in this House lay hie hand on .big heart end say, that he verily believes any inconvenience' tee resulted to the public service, or to time individuals holding 'those offices, during the last six years ? I will by every means eippese this attempt to make 'the Presidency of the Board of :`,Priale a substantive office. I regard it as a wanton waste of ,the public nosey ; anti 1 am equally opposed to the miser a ble , project for reducing the salary of time Treasurer of the Navy from 3,0001. to 2,5001., in order that it may be given to some , body fur Itheaupport in this House and for aught that I know, too, toa law eer•—( Laughter and cheers.) Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided. The numbers were—For the motion, 87; against ; Majority for Ministers, 11. On our return, we found Mr. CANNING addressing the =Linu V. The hoise occasioned by the rushing of the strangers into the Gallery disabled us from distinctly hearing the Right *Honourable Gentleman, who spoke in a very low tone. .We understood him to express his regret that the timeliness of the majority would prevent him from persevering in the course, wiefein as is matter of principle, lie hail conscientiously sup . posted ; but which, as a matter of expediency, he now f e lt himself bound, un der ell the circumstances of the case, to -abandon. The expression of opinion had, undophtedly, been very strong, and his illejesty's Government would riot further -press the metoure. As it seems to be the wish of the House, they would consent to the union of the ancient office of the Treasurer or the Navy with tharof. time President of time Board =of Trathe—alear, hear !) Mr. TIElt NEY rose, with heart-felt pleasure, to assure his Majesty's Government that they had, by this act, justly earned th a appro hation of his Majesty's Opposi t ion Laughter.) • The miANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that his Right Honourable Friend had intimated the course which Go veniment intended on thie occasion to pursue. It was his duty to carry Om intention into effect, and it appeared to him con eietent with right feeling, and with a due sense of what belong cut to his situation, to entree, the propoeltion himself, without coffering any restraint froth fal se, shame.-.-.(Hear, hear I) Many severe and groundless imputations had been cast upon Government in the course,of the debate, but it was not fleece eery to do more at that time than to notice and repel them ge aerally. lie felt it his duty to move, " That the resolution be amended by Inserting the sum of 2,0001. as the salary of the rededdent of the Board of Trade, instead of 5,000/. Sir M. W. seconded the amendment, which h e h a d • intended to move himself, if the Right Hon. Gentleman had „ . net antic ipated him. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON said a few words, which were not audible in the Gallery : Mr. 111111 hi said, he wished to have his word too (a laugh). )ire would be happy to see Government oftener act as they were then deioee. If' time Opposition would attend more to their Joy, lie reticulated upon a great deal more attemion to the wants sod interests of the people, and he hoped that much would yet be done the their benefit before Parliament rose. Reeoliition, as amended by the CH ANCEI,I4OII of the ); Niugpa, was then agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in to carry the, same into effect. cIIARTUH. AMENDMENT BILL. The WI A NCEi,t.OU of 'the EXCHEQUER said he had , some verbal amendments to make in We Bill, for which pur.: peeto he would avail iiitheelfof the Order of the Day for having ilhenzeromitted. He also intended subsequently to move One tie tweeonindmititeef ono consequence; but the House Would Ate bees* *wi se undeposeid.dlem lithe blanks were previouslY k M.. t ; >~ filled up. The amendments to which he alluded would, he thought, be regarded as considerable improvements. Mr. BARING wished 'to knoW whether the, Right Hon. Gentleman intended to have the Bill recommittedf. If he did, it would be more convenleat not to discuss the general prin. ciplekiof the measure till it waCrnade perfect. . the CHANCEIAJOR of the EXCHEQUER. reviled in the affirmative. If he had not intended to have the 'Bill recommit ted, he would be stealing a march upon the House, which he 'assured them he had no intention of doing. The Bill then went through the Committee, anti the Report was ordered -to be printed and taken into further consideration on Friday next. The Report of the Committee on the Prisons Bill of Ireland was brought up, and was ordered to be taken into further con sideration on Ii riday next.

Mr. If UME -wished to know if there was any intention to place the Crown Debtors on the same footing as debtors of any other description? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that such a proposi.

QuEBEC, FEB. 27.—The part of the Speech" of his Excellency the Governor in Chief which relates to the late Acts passed in the Parliament of the United KingdOm flatting the interests of this colony, is now under consideration in both Houses of our Provincial Parliament, with a view of making suitable representation °tithe subject of these Acts, to, the Govern ment of the mother country. The Act giving a monopoly of the North-west Fur Trade and the Canada Trade Act, are also re , ferret) to•the Special Committee of the Assembly on the late Acts. A motion is also before the Assembly for appointing an agent to reside in England, to support the interests• of the Province by communications with his Majesty's Government. The local situation of Canada in respect to the United States, and its peculiar interests. so universally acknowledged to have suf fered for some time past, from a deficiency of information in England on our affairs, seems to render an agent, the appoint ment of which has been proposed by the Assembly since 1007, now indispensable. The late Tenures Bill, affecting the right which the Agricul tural classes have in the unconceded Seigneurial Lands, par tially introducing a new code of laws for regulating real pro. periv generally unknown to the Inhabitants of the Provmee and contrary to those by which that property has been ordered from the first establishment of the Province, has been referred to a separate Committee. Tit E NEW TRADE ACTS.—We are informed upon good authority, than considerable importations of • American manu factures have been. made at St. Jelin, Lake Champlain; since the ath Januarylast ; at which time the Oth Gem IV. chap. 114, came bait force, and permitted the entry of such goods, we believe, at a duty of 15 per cent ad valorem. We are told that certain descriptions of coarse stuff's, which when imported from Great Britain sold at 10d. a yard, are now selling at Montreal at 76d. imported'from the United States. It may he recollect. ed that similar importations into Nova Scotia were some time ago contemplated. In Upper Canada, and in the parts of Lower Canada adjoining Upper Canada, tic consumption of American • goods has been for some years considerable: The new policy of Great Britain is doubly hurtful; hurtful to her own manufacturing and shipping interests,' and more directly hurtful to the interests of the Colonies. NewCBRIINSWICE.—The house of Assembly in New_ Brunswick have Come to the resolution of erecting a residence for the Lieut. Governor at Fredertann, - suited to the means of the Province, and'in place of the one dest roye d by the late tire. The Revenue in that Province for the last year - amounted to 42,6391.

General Miller arrived in this city on Friday, witiva pass port for London. By the 31all which arrived yesterday evening, we have re ceived information that the district of Tarija is re-incorporated with the United Provinces. • The treaties concluded with the Indian Caciques of the North, at the meeting in Laguna del Guanaco, have been re. ceived in this city. J. 13.—The last accounts from Monte Video state, that there are in that port only a Brazilian brigantine and scheoner, and merchantmen of different nations, detained; that Vice- Admiral Lobo sailed on the filth with his squadron, consisting of 2 corvettes, 3 brigantines, 2 schOoners, 3 gun.boats, and 2 transports, with thellesign of fortifying the island of Martin Garcia, and that on. the sth of this month his Britannic .31a. j sty's ship of the line the Wellesley of 82 guns, arrived there from Rio de Janeiro. A boat belonging to the English frigate the Doris anchored here yesterday, bringing dispatches from Monte Video for Mr. Parish. Colonel William Brown has been incorporated with the Na tional Marine, and entrusted with the command in chief of the squadron. JAN. 14.—Dispatches have just been received from General Lavalleja, one of which details a victory gained over the Brazi- Bans by Coldnel Don Leonardo Olivern; the result of which is of very great importance, as it has given us possession of the important place of Santa Theresa, and of the fort of San Mi guel, which are on the frontier of the enemy's territory, and are considered as the key of it. The report of Col. Olivera states that he had taken the enemy by surprise, whciran out of the houses in their shirts and escaped into the mountains where they could not be 'pursued : about 20 were killed or wounded, and 70 or 80made prisoners. A consider.. able quantity of arms and ammunition was taken, and many horses. This affair took place in the morning of the 31st of December. Colonel Brown having taken the command of the squadron, sailed on the 13th to reconnoitre the enemy, and-ofrered them battle; but the enemy,. notwithstanding his superiority, was not to be Induced to fight, and retreated.: JAN. 17.,.—The sailing of our squadron, and the cowardice of the enemy, produced an. extraordinary enthusiasm on the multi. tudes that crowded the bunks of the , ri , :er. Many Arad to en. list as volunteer& Some persons manned and armed • eight or tea boats and followed the squadron. Our principal merchants made a sUbseription of 12,000 piastres, to purchase the Ameri. can schooner Grace Ann, but could not agree with the pro. pricier, who asked an exorbitant price. The Government has purchaied the Upton and Mohawk 'brigs,.and the GraCe Ann, schooner, and has changed their names, to the following : Re publica Argentina, Congreso Constituente, and Sarandi. The following officers were appointed to command them The CongrisO Constituente, Captain William Robert Mason, Sub-Lieutenants, William Corey and John King.—The Re publica Argentina, Commander, Lieutenant Robert G. Beazley, Sub-Lieutenant, James Welder.—The Saran di, Commander, Lieutenant Robert H. Ford, Sub-Lieutenant, Hugh Campbell. JAN. 20.—We learn that the army of operation has already passed into the Province Oriental ; though this news is not .official, we believe it to be certain. It is of great importance to the success of 'the campaign, it being absolutely necessary to support Colonel Olivera, who has occupied San Theresa., JAN. 24.—0 n .the 21st our squadron gave new proofs of valour, and the enemy of cowardice. One of the enemy's gun boats was taken. JAN'. 27.—The Congress continues to discuss the plan pre sented by the Government for the establishment of a National Bank. A project has been laid before the Congress for incorporating the Discount Bank with the National Bank. It was referred to the Committee of Finance, and the agents appointed by the General Board of the Discount Bank having expressed their readiness to join in the plans of the Government, the Congress has decreed the proposed incorporation—each share of 1,000 dollars in the Discount Bank to be convertible into six shares of 200 dollars in thy National Bank. The private Letters from Buenos Ayres state, hat the projected incorporation of the Discount Bank w ith the National Bank had taken place. A report was in circulation this morning, of the National Bank of BuenosAyres, having suspended payment, but the fact of the union of the two Banks stated in the private letters may, we think, be taken as decisive of the rumour being un founded. We regret to say that the details in the St. Helena letter, brought by the Garn-brea Castle, (in our last past page,) are fully conf►rmed by the private letters from India, delivered this morning. In one communication, our loss in Officers is stated as high as 20. Considerable anxiety will naturally- prevail for the arrival of the official statements. From the promptitude with which Lord COMBERMER has so unexpec tedly appeared before l3hurtpore, the fall of that important fortress is confidently expected. A l\lail from Lisbon arrived in town this morn ing, bringing a series of (lie Lisbon Gazettes to thet9th of March. The only article of interest is the subjoined Circular, addressed to all the public officers, taken from the Lisbon Gazelle of the 27th ult.:— 01'FICIAL. DErnicraturrr or TIE MINISTER of THE INTERIOR. To Joao de Matto!' e Vasconcellus Barban de Magaliees. " The Government of these Kingdoms, created by the Royal Decree of the 6th March this year, of which her Serene High ness the Infanta Donna Isabella Maria is President, consider ing the necessity of regulating the ferms for the dispatch of business, ordains as follows : (4 That all laws, letters . patent, sentences, and all documents whatever, which are usually dispatched in the name of the sove reign, shall be headed as follows : Don Pedro, by the Grace of God, King of Portugal and the Algarves on this side anti beyond the sea in Africa, Lord of Guinea, and of the conquest, (navigation, and commerce of Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia, and India, &e. "That the Alvaras shall run thus the king make known.' " The decrees !Shall be in the form hitherto used. " That the Avizos and Portarios shall be issued as at pre sent,.i. e. " The Government of these kingdoms, created by the royal decree of 6th slarch, this year, of which the most Serene Senhora Infanta Donna Maria Isabella, President, &c. " The seals used for public documents to be as they were before the law of lath December, 1815, with the following inscription . "Parra I V., Del Grata Portugalice et Algarviorum, Rex." "JOSE JOAQUIM DE ALMEIDA E ARANJO CORREA DE LACERDA." " March 2Q, 1826." Private letters from Lisbon, dated the 22d ult., state the expected arrival of the late Secre• tary of Sir CITA IMES STU A RT, who had been ob liged, in consequence of ill health, to quit tl u Brazilian capital,on his return to England, but was expect e d to touch at Lisbon. The politic nuncs would attach importance to the voyage of this demi-diplomatist, as be is said to enjoy the confidence of his employer. The Queen and Princess Regent are not yet reconciled, although attempts are making to effect-this, and it is even added, that they will reside together in the Palace of Ajuda. Report continues to add im mensely, to the wealth which the late King left be hind him. The amount was originally estimated at near five millions of English money, and now, two millions of francs are added in ingots of gold, two millions more in gold dust, and finally, a leathern bag, filled with brilliants of incalculable value. Excessive as this statement must neces sarily be, it is nevertheless without doubt that the late KING died possessed of an immense sum, a part of which has already been paid over to the Queen, i n pursuance of the will of her ttoyal Spouse. The manner in which the KING has disposed of the residue of this money, has d very general discontent. The comma ipodue o r cnti o c tt s bet ween the English squadron in the Tagus with London is frequent. Letters re ceived' from Rio ) represent things there as in a fp.vourable condition.
